Generic Installation Keys
All of the examples provided are installation keys only; they will not activate your installed version of Windows. They are the default keys that are inserted if you choose to skip entering a Product Key during the installation process.
The product keys listed in this section can be used with any of the answer files and scripted examples. They are blocked at the Microsoft clearinghouse and therefore cannot be used to activate any systems. They provide a number of days for you to complete the activation process. The keys supplied are not architecture dependent.
It is absolutely essential that you use the correct type of key, which is a function of the edition type. Choose the key corresponding to which edition of Windows you wish to install.
